Isaiah 22
V15 “Go say to this steward, to Shebna …”
The nation was in rebellion and selfishly living their life away from God and Shebna who held high office was responsible.
When Queen Victoria was a child, she didn’t know she was in line for the throne of England. Her instructors, trying to prepare her for the future, were frustrated because they couldn’t motivate her. She just didn’t take her studies seriously. Finally, her teachers decided to tell her that one day she would become the queen of England. Upon hearing this, Victoria quietly said, “Then I will be good.” The realization that she had inherited this high calling gave her a sense of responsibility that profoundly affected her conduct from then on.
Who do we have under us? Who are we responsible for? Are we good shepherds?
Are we responsible for work colleagues, our children, our pupils, or Sunday school children, the elderly, the youth in our church etc ?
God wants us to treat them fairly, righteously and as God would treat them.
